Syteanric 1 Posted February 1, 2007 Am i right in thinking that we get no fee for Carl Robinson due to the fact he has joined on a bosman? i thought a pre-contract agreement could be agreed when he had 6 months left to run on a contract and he would join at the end of the deal?if not then surely Toronto owe us money?or have i missed something?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted February 1, 2007 He had 18 months left on his contract so it wouldn''t have been a Bosman. The club would have just released him from his present contract - terminated by mutual consent, hopefully with no wages being paid upfront... Then he becomes a free agent to fly to Canada.

Snakepit Boy 0 Posted February 1, 2007 So we''re STILL the only team that has ever payed any money for him! Speaks volumes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacko 0 Posted February 1, 2007 I wouldn''t be at all surprised if we didn''t pay at least some of his contract up to sweeten the deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy laz 0 Posted February 2, 2007 I believe there was a whip round during the half time interval at thewolves game , with many fans contributing as much as they couldafford to force the issue .Obviously they dont watch championshipfootball in canada OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CambridgeCanary 0 Posted February 2, 2007 No fee due to City either.........this does beggar belief. If we were going to give away dead wood, there is a long queue ahead of Robbo.Even if Wiz is wrong and we are not broke, we are not so flush as to be able to pass over transfer fees especially for an "intelligent" international footballer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
